It's up to you to improve work zone safety

 

We’re wrapping up National Work Zone Awareness Week with a final video.

Highway workers know their family members and friends are concerned about their safety. Workers don’t want their loved ones to worry about whether or not they are coming home tonight. Please take the time to slow down and pay attention.

To all of you who work alongside the highways, thank you for everything you do to construct and maintain our roadways. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. 

So many close calls in work zones

 

Kansas highway workers tell of the close calls they have experienced in work zones. Sadly, these stories are but a small sampling of the times KDOT workers have had to react to potentially life-threatening situations.

KDOT highway workers and family members included in this video series volunteered to be interviewed by KDOT’s Multimedia Services Division.

The workers want to help the public understand what it’s like to work along the highways, inches from vehicles going 55 mph or more. Their families discuss what it’s like to be in their shoes. What if that was your loved one working along the highway?
